If you’re facing signs like unexplained tiredness, poor sleep, or even new-onset high blood pressure, it may be time to look closer at your alcohol intake. Many in the UK underestimate how much regular drinking can silently affect their well-being.
The CDT blood test measures specific changes in a protein in your blood. Raised CDT indicates heavy drinking, sometimes long before you feel any physical symptoms. That’s why it’s such a helpful tool for early action.
Note: For more information on alcohol-related health, the NHS has a helpful resource on alcohol misuse.
Mayfield Clinic provides a CDT home blood test kit that’s easy to use and delivered to your UK address. Or, if you prefer, book an in-person blood test with one of our experienced private GPs.
Ready to take charge of your health? Order your CDT home test kit today or contact us to book a clinic appointment.
A home blood test offers privacy and convenience, and is just as accurate as a clinic test when you follow instructions closely.
The home testing kit is designed to be painless and simple. Place the device on your finger, collect a small sample—no painful needles required.
A normal level is reassuring, but if CDT is high, it’s a strong signal to reduce alcohol intake and speak to a healthcare professional about next steps.
